Evening all. Firs of all I am severely dyslexic so forgive the English.The last two months have been a bit of a whirlwind. I am 69 and a couple of months ago I noticed a small amount of blood in my urine. I went to see my GP who found my prostate to be slightly swollen on the right side but no lumps or pumps. PSA 5.9. Appointment made for one month’s time. No further bleeding during that period. PSA 5.7. After conversation referred to urology. Had an MRI ten days ago. Small anomaly seen so follow up biopsy 4 days ago. Obviously anxious times. As I await results.
I was of course informed by various staff that there would be blood in my urine amongst other things. The problem is the descriptions ranged from rivers of blood to you will hardly notice. I must admit until today it has been minimal. Unfortunately I became constipated, long history of ibs and a hernia operation a few months ago that went slightly askew contribute towards this. I notice the times I strain to pass faeces increases the bleeding slightly. Has anybody else had this experience.
I realise I probably anxious over nothing and straining is bound to have some affect and I am taking measures to deal with the constipation. But as I said anxious times.
